Accessing both AC500 and AC800 online from the same PC?

Hi all,

I have a PC in which Control builder and Codesys are installed. The PC has two ethernet ports. I have directly connected them to AC800 and AC500 controller. Will I be able to acheive online in both the controllers at the same time. I just want to check if the values forced / entered in AC500 are recieved in AC800 (vice versa too).

Hello,

You can go online with both controllers at same time as you are using two different control softwares but to achieve data exchange between two controllers, you may have to make more setup. How are the two controllers connected to each other? are you using the AC800M controller as modbus slave? or are you making the AC500 Profibus slave?
